This account of P. cheilanthifolia is based on the examination of 34 specimens. The 

 intimate relationship of the species to P. globifera has been already noticed. In 

 Stoliczka's specimens from Kibler, in Hay's from Lahul, and in Heyde's from Pangi 

 the inflorescence is centrifugal; in several other gatherings it is subcentrifugal, i.e., the 

 flowers in the lower verticil, removed by an interval from the spike proper, open later 

 than those flowers of the verticils next above which form the base of the congested part 

 of the spike.
